Re: Temic immobiliser help

Just a pointer for anyone else having problems with a temic immobiliser, the car will start, it only checks for the chip once it is running, if it doesn’t detect the chip, the engine shuts down and the immobiliser light comes on. In an ideal world, if you lose your keys, it is possible to reprogram ...

https://www.ecudecode.co.uk. Claim to do it, but I suspect it won’t be cheap.

Re: Immobiliser

There are two different ecu’s fitted to the Temic cars. 97 cars have a different model ecu to 95 and 96 car. If you can get an immobiliser code from Fords for your car and 2 new keys, it is possible to program the new keys. It took me about 15 attempts. The only problem is Fords don’t really want to...

Re: Rear o2 sensor

I use a 22mm ring spanner, I think it’s 22mm. It is cut in half, disconnect the plug, working from the top, place ring spanner on O2 sensor, then I have a piece of pipe flattened at one end, place this end against the end of the spanner and tap with a hammer. 5 minute job.

Re: Immobiliser chipped key

Your only option would be the parts from another temic car. In the past it was possible to get a code from Ford, but they are not interested these days.

If you could get the code from Ford, then I have the procedure. I have done it once, but it is fiddly, it took me about 20 goes before it worked.

Re: VRIS issues

Between 0 rpm and 3250 rpm vris 1 and 2 are closed.

Between 3250 and 4250 rpm vris 1 is open, vris 2 is closed.

From 4250 and 6500 rpm both open, unless no wot.

Above 6500 both closed.

Re: VRIS issues

To answer your other question, vris is opened by the ecu based on parameter set within the ecu.

For example the vris switching at 4000 rpm only happens in a wide open throttle state, if this doesn’t work, it is usually a TPS fault.

Re: VRIS issues

To sort out VRIS a mityvac is a useful tool. I did write a guide to fault finding the vris years ago, I will see if I can find it.

In my experience most problems are vacuum related, heat makes the tubing brittle.
